Fall Ideas!

The leaves here in MN are just about at their prime time leaf lookin' stage! This is one way to preserve those leaves we keep collecting! (at least for a while) 2 sheets of wax paper, a towel (so your counter does not get wax all over it) and leaves.
place the leaves between 2 sheets of wax paper, iron and cut into the shape you want.

They look so beautiful in the window!! Your kids will love doing this and talking about which ones they picked!

If you have an extra wall for art, I always put up a tree right in our school room!! (I even did this when I did daycare) make lots of different kinds of leaves of many colors, use a paper bag for the trunk and lots of tape to put it all up!! Isn't it pretty? We will put all our fall crafts around the tree now.

Some of our leaves are collage leaves. Just make strips of paper and have leaves and glue them on! Enjoy fall!

I dedicate this blog to Our Lady. May only good things come of this.

"Let no soul, even the most miserable, fall prey to doubt, for, as long as one is alive, each one can become a great saint, so great is the power of God's grace; It remains only for us not to oppose God's action." --St Faustina's Diary 283

"Lord, illumine my intellect to see the truth and give me the strength to follow it."-Venerable Fulton J. Sheen

"There are not more than 100 people in the world who truly hate the Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they perceive to be the Catholic Church." [The Venerable and Most Reverend Fulton John Sheen]

Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.-Philippians 4:8

"All men were born to live. One man was born to die." -Fulton J. Sheen

St Michael The Archangel

St Michael the Archangel defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray, and do thou, oh prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into hell, Satan and all evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
